Heat Transfer

FREE AND FORCED CONVECTION EXPERIMENT

An experimental apparatus to examine free and forced convection from a flat plate, a plate with fins and a plate with rods.

EXTENDED SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER
An experimental module to show the temperature gradient of a long thin horizontal member that is free to loose heat by natural convection and radiation.

RADIANT TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS

A benchtop unit to show the laws of radiant transfer from heat and light sources

RADIAL HEAT CONDUCTION EXPERIMENT
An experimental module to introduce students to the principles of radial heat conduction, and to allow the conductivity of the test disk to be measured.

WATER TO AIR HEAT EXCHANGERS

An experimental unit to show how cross-flow water to air heat exchangers work.

CONDUCTIVITY OF LIQUIDS AND GASES
An experimental module to show the thermal conductivity of various compatible liquids and gasses.

LINEAR HEAT CONDUCTION EXPERIMENT
An experimental module to introduce students to the principles of linear heat conduction, and to allow the thermal conductivity of various materials to be measured.

HEAT TRANSFER EXPERIMENT BASE UNIT

A base unit to support various experiments that demonstrate heat transfer.

FORCED CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER
A compact free-standing laboratory apparatus to allow students to investigate the theory of forced convection in pipes and associated heat transfer principles.
